I agree. For example, say I have a friend Jack Wilton in Australia, and I took a photo while visiting him. I may want to put the photo both into the folder named "Australia", and into the folder "Jack Wilton" at the same time.
Being intended as a replacement for folders, I consider labels are tags for files.
I think they do so intending it to be a replacement of an obsolete term "folder" or "directory". I myself was also fed up with directories on my PC. I hope in the future there will be no such thing as directories in the filesystem at all, and there will be labels instead.

data found
here using a slightly different rendering technique than was used to
generate the maps there. Each line is drawn between two nodes, representing two
IP
addresses. The length of the lines are indicative of the delay between those
two nodes. This graph represents less than 30% of the
Class C networks reachable by the data collection program in early 2005.
Lines are color-coded according to their corresponding
RFC 1918 allocation as follows:
We do not dial anymore, we TYPE! And there is already a good word in use - COMMUNICATOR.

Here is my proposal of what could Google.org and other philantropic orgs think of realizing:
Proposal of the idea
Idea name: "Think and win" TV show TV Name's explanation : The TV show for changing the way we watch other television broadcasts, read newspapers and journals.
Audience This idea could be of interest to governmental organizations , companies, funds and organizations that are concerned about solving the social and environmental problems , as well as any other companies want to benefit from publishing their problems for the society and paying for the best ideas people come up with about the problems.
Problems There are the following persistent problems in the society, that are related with the idea I want to present:
* People waste time exposing to mass media. People spend a lot of precious time reading newspapers, watching TV, reading online, but produce little products while doing this. * Mass media information is impractical. Little people really find this mass media information practical or useful in their activities. * There are many improtant problems to be solved. There are global problems like poverty, environmental problems and other, on which depends the welfare of all of us, and we have to think of how to solve them. * People don't think of these problems. Media provides some information about these problems, but many people are not interested to think of them. * People watch TV passively.
We might not feel it directly, but these problems causes pain in a way that we waste time and many problems are left unsolved even though they could be.
If a million people watch TV for 5 minutes, they actually spend 10 years! 10 years of living, working, thinking just in 5 minutes, and they produce near to nothing! Nothing worthy, just seeing it.1005101051010
The real problem is that many people don't notice the problems shown in the mass media, nor they really think of how to solve them. There is no incentive to do that, as they don't get anything for it.
The articles and media broadcasts are also adapted to this thinking that consumers don't solve the problems, and that they are only passive listeners or viewers, so authors of media don't really care to explain the working mechanisms of something, or explain something profoundly enough to make the information practical, or to make people able to think of possible solutions.
Idea
1) Create a reward system. (Attraction!) A) Pay money for ideas for those who come up with good ideas while watching TV, reading newspapers, journals and so on.A.
B) Contact the parties interested in problem solving. There are parties interested in solving the problems that are discussed in mass media. For example, governmental organisations , some companies and funds might be interested in solving environmental problems. So, they could offer the prizes for people who come up with good ideas about these problems.
C) Add messages the to media about it. These parties could be interested in cooperation with the media and add messages to TV broadcasts and articles about these problems. Something like this:
"If you have an idea, how to solve this... problem, please send it to..., and you may win a prize from 100000$ . More details on the website http://www....com/ . The ID of the this broadcast is: 1221" ID
2) Create a TV show. (Fun system!) TV It would be just like a lottery. As the summary of all the thinking, the best ideas would be published or broadcasted as an "idea competition show" on weekends. The authors of the brightest ideas would get prizes.
3) Cooperate with the authors of the media content. (Interested parties) Entities interested in solving the problems (companies, government, funds, scientists and engineers) would be interested not only in paying people for ideas, but also in properly presenting the problems. Make journalists work closely in cooperat
If human and mouse differs genetically so little (97.5% similar), then having a human genome, is it difficult to make a mouse with the brain, size similar to that of humans?
I think that wouldn't be bad if their intelligence was a little bit superior than those of us who do evil.

I think it's good, and the extension is necessary, but the standard should be well-designed.
It's similar to what I've thought before, but...

Short description
Imagine a simple website, where you could login, and then create your profile by creating custom fields (questions and answers). The answers could be anything from plain text to uploadable documents (photo, audio/video file, other kind of documents). In other words, you could simply ADD new fields of any type to your profile... Then, you could let prefered people and groups see the fields you prefer, you could also request fields from other people just by writing a question or using a question from another profile.
One thing that has to be done to correct the education system is to establish many specialized (by subject) 8-year schools, that children could enter after finishing 4-years of education in primary school. (there are more on my mind)
In these schools children could learn skills and acquire a lot of knowledge in a more specialized area like quantum physics or anything.

Say there are:
* saved games in the game directory
* pc user personal directory
* some project in a another directory
etc.
Say you want to:
* see all of your files and directories when you open your personal directory, and be able to browse through them.
How do you do that with traditional directories?

Hmm.. can you tell me more about your newsletter (major topics, is it personal like a blog or other type of media, why do you write it, etc.)
What is your newsletter?
In what news? I am interested.

Yea, because you are taken away your right to speak.
I think those who have reserved space, could do that. Anyway, I have a better idea.
